Choosing the right exhaust for a Triumph Bonneville means finding the balance between sound, performance, aesthetics and conformity. In this guide by FCR Accessories , we help you select the line or silencer that will reveal the character of your Modern Classic, with concrete advice and links to our dedicated parts.
Why change the exhaust on your Bonneville?
Triumph's original lines prioritize conformity and noise reduction. The result: a muted sound, a sometimes heavy package, and an engine that could breathe more freely. A properly sized FCR Accessories exhaust provides better gas flow management, reduced weight, and a more noble sound signature, true to the spirit of the Bonneville.
- Flexibility and torque more present in mid-range.
- Overall lightening of the exhaust system.
- Deep, mechanical and controlled sound .
- Clean lines that reinforce the Modern Classic style.
Understanding the role of the exhaust
The exhaust system channels, cools, and dampens the gases. Its design influences backpressure, thus torque availability, revving, and engine character. A good exhaust for a Bonneville promotes a smooth flow without disrupting the original engine mapping. This is the FCR Accessories philosophy: achieving a noticeable gain while preserving Triumph's DNA.
Full line or silencer
There are two options depending on your goals, your budget and your desire for transformation.
Silent alone
It mounts on the original line, improves the timbre and refines the style, without modifying the collector.
- Quick and reversible assembly.
- More present, warmer sound.
- Reworked aesthetics at a lower cost.
Full line
Complete replacement of the system, from the manifold to the silencer, for a more marked sound, visual and dynamic transformation.
- Optimized flow and reduced weight.
- Increased engine homogeneity.
- Consistent and cleaner design.
The right sound for a Triumph
On a Bonneville, the soundtrack contributes to the emotion. At FCR Accessories , we favor a deep and clean timbre , without buzzing or aggressiveness. The removable baffles allow you to modulate the intensity. In urban use, we favor a contained volume; on the road, we open up to enjoy a more present grain.

Aesthetics and finishes
An exhaust must extend the Modern Classic line: curved tank, slim seat, short fenders. Our curves respect the original proportions and reinforce the overall balance of the Bonneville.

FAQ
Do I need to reprogram the motorcycle after installing an FCR Accessories exhaust?
On a recent Bonneville, our lines are designed to work with the original mapping. An adaptation can further optimize response and flexibility, especially if the exhaust is paired with a more open air filter. Our teams can advise you on a case-by-case basis.
Are FCR Accessories exhausts approved?
We offer CE-approved versions depending on the model, and "racing" versions for off-road customization projects. Check local regulations and the product description to choose the right configuration.
What is the difference between a single silencer and a complete system?
The silencer primarily modifies the sound and aesthetics, with quick and reversible installation. The complete line provides a more overall gain: optimized flow, reduced weight, enhanced visual consistency.
Which model should I choose for my Triumph Bonneville?
For T100 and T120, the Modern Classics line is ideal. For Bobber 1200 and Speedmaster, opt for the dedicated Bobber & Speedmaster line . For Thruxton RS and Speed ââTwin, the RS line prioritizes response precision.
Can the volume be adjusted?
Yes. The FCR Accessory lines are equipped with removable baffles that allow you to adjust the intensity according to use. You'll enjoy a richer timbre on the road while remaining measured in the city.
What does the 3rd optional probe mentioned bring to your lines?
We add a third optional probe with support to improve compatibility and reading of engine parameters according to configurations. This approach guarantees harmonious, durable and reliable operation.
